"Remember when everyone expected Coppermine to be no better than just a shrink of Katmai?" I did not expect Coppermine to be just a shrink of Katmai, but I have to admit that I was surprised at just how much better than Katmai it performed. Hope you're right about Tualatin, but the fact that they backed off on the 200 MHz FSB gives me major doubts. It seems obvious that one of Intel's primary concerns with Tualatin is not making P4 look any worse than it already does.

Elmer - RE: "When people talk about Tualatin, they should expect much more than a .13u shrink of Coppermine. Tualatin will bring much more to the table. Remember when everyone expected Coppermine to be no better than just a shrink of Katmai? Don't think Intel stood still with Tualatin. They didn't." You mean like a 512K L2 cache and maybe a 200MHz bus? ;) Some guy here forums.anandtech.com posted stuff supposedly from Intel's website that says that, but provided no link... Tualatin will make for an awesome mobile processor. 512K L2 cache, probably a SpeedStep "2", and Intel's .13 process technology. Intel will continue to dominate the high-end notebook market. PS: I bet a 1.26GHz Tualatin is easily faster than a 1.4GHz P4 in many benchmarks. Imagine buying a 1.26GHz notebook that performs better than your 1.4GHz P4 desktop!
